The co-accused Nos.8 to 11 are enlarged on bail by trial court. Moreover, this Court, vide order dated 21.04.2026 in Bail Applications No.592 and 537 of 2026, granted bail to co-accused Nos.5 and 6. It is further submitted that, now nothing is recovered at the instance of the applicant. As such, prayed to allow the application.

5.
Having heard the submissions and upon perusal of the record, prima facie, indicates that the name of the applicant is purportedly disclosed by co-accused No.1. However, apart from such confession to the police, prima facie, there is nothing on record to link the applicant to the alleged crime. 6.
It is pertinent to note that the law is set into motion at the instance of Police Officer on the basis of secret information. The papers of investigation are silent in relation to the victim's of the alleged set of accused persons. The victims and the loss caused to any Indian or foreign national has not been surfaced much less complicity of the applicant.
7.
The investigation is complete and the chargesheet is filed. Considering the number of witnesses, which prosecution proposes to examine, the trial is unlikely to conclude within a reasonable period. In view of the release of the co-accused on bail, applicant deserves to be admitted to bail even on the principle of parity, further detention of the applicant would be unjustified. Hence, following order:-
O R D E R
(i) Bail Application is allowed.
